IT Home Learning (1/3-2/3) "LA Assignment"

Hi people, so I took the Multiple Intelligence test as Ms Loh instructed us to do before we settle our minds on the actual assignment on the life in Maycomb county.
And here is the results. As you guys can see, besides linguistic, visual, musical and intrapersonal, I am pretty bad in the other four areas. I think the reliability of this test is partially accurate. The questions should be more refined and detailed. They should give you some scenarios and test for your reactions when it comes to a difficult situation. From the enormous lists of choices, I decide to do Musical and Intrapersonal. Just wait...

Musical- Option B (Poem of the life in Maycomb County)

Oh, life in Maycomb was­ much alive;
As kicking alive as dead
A resilient old county that was erect for ages,
So long that none knew when it existed
Life was simply a cycle of repetition

Its people were stereotypical,
Resisting the forces of change
Their lives meant no life,
Following a pace so slow that olden the town faster and faster

No one had high aspirations;
No one wanted fame;
Simplicity was all that remained.
“Leaving the Maycomb County” can only be said by a true hero,
As what it takes would not be audacity but moral courage

In the undisrupted tranquil in Maycomb,
Nevertheless, always lies an ugly and malicious truth of segregation

Men and Women,
Rich and Poor,
Gregarious and Reclusive,
And most importantly, Black and White,

If you were born coloured,
Your destiny is sealed
Be thankful of the treatment you received from the society,
You can’t blame anyone, you just can’t.

Embrace the discrimination from the whites,
Never should one black answer back
You are always disadvantaged after considering from any angle,
That implies, just give up!

Your words will not be trusted;
Your story will never be heard;
Alike a mockingbird singing out its plea in front of a roaring tiger,
You will be devoured ferociously;
You will be tortured mercilessly till you do not utter a second word

Oh, life in Maycomb was much fair,
As impartial as robbing rights away from some,
As just as treating some so differently from the norm.

Intrapersonal- Option C (Point of View of Jem Finch on the day after Tom Robinson's Trial)


How could this be? Where is the justice? Those juries are just a bunch of immoral beings. How could the toy with one's life? So what if Tom Robinson is black, that does not prove that his heart is "black"! Are they really blind? All of them are concealing the truth and going against their conscience! How can they be so ridiculous; to not see a truth that even Scout and I can see? Oh yes, because Tom is black.... So it therefore implies an evil assumption that all Negros lie, all of them are basically immoral beings, that all of them should be not left alone white ladies?

I really could not comprehend. Where is the justice? Why can't wicked people be put behind bars? Why must a white man always win when he alleges a black man when the latter did nothing? Why are the people in Maycomb County so obscure and prejudiced? What is the actual difference between a black and a white? If blacks are immoral beings that lie, then what are the whites really? Do us, whites, really tell the truth and uphold justice and respect? We DO NOT!

I can't stand this anymore. When I grow up, something must be done to this irrevocable and biased mindset of the whites! I have to leave this place otherwise, because I can't stand the unfair and inhumane treatment towards a disadvantaged who had done nothing wrong. The Ewells are known to be the scums of Maycomb and Tom Robinson is a righteous and upright lad who has always rendered helped to Mayella Ewell. How can she make use of Tom Robinson and seduce him instead? Where is her conscience and self-control? Why must she do such an evil thing to Tom? Where is her dignity?

Dear diary, I may leave this place once I am independent enough. But now, we can only pray to God that no more misfortunes will befall upon this county. No more misfortunes shall befall...
